c. The sustaining stage is the third stage during which physical fitness is maintained. It is necessary to continue exercising at approximately the same intensity to retain the condition developed.

Good post. It is the sustaining stage that becomes an increasingly difficult challenge with age. The target of the mind slips from what is desired to what is possible and recovery from minor injuries that were once an inconvenience becomes matter of impatient and imprudent attempts to deny the aging process so that sustaining actually becomes a giant "do-loop" of re-toughening, re-improving and re-sustaining at ever increasing frequencies of shorter and shorter duration. That and a lot of motrin/aspirin/flexeril and the understanding that it all beats a dirt nap!
